BURDETTE H. WHITE, OF SYRACUSE, NEW YORK.-

GARMENT-SUPPORTER.

Specification of Letters Patent. 7

Patented April 9, 1907.

Application filed July 28,1905. Serial No. 271,574.

' To (1, whom, it may con/067%:

Be it known that I, BURDETTE H. WHiTE, of Syracuse, in the county of Onondaga and State of New York, have invented a certain new and useful Garment-Supporter, of which the following is a specification;

My invention has for its object the produc tion of a garment-supporter which is particularly simple in construction and highly eflicient in use; and to this end it consists in the novel combinations and constructions hereinafter set forth and claimed.

In describing this invention reference is had to the accompanying drawings, in which like characters designate corresponding parts in all the views.

Figure 1 is an elevation of a portion of a suspender embodying my invention. Figs. 2 and 3 are detail views of parts of my supporter. Fig. 4 is a sectional, view on line A A, Fig. 1.

This garment-supporter comprises a member 1, formed with an eye 2 and a pin 3, cooperating with the eye.

In the illustrated embodiment of my garment-supporter the terminal piece or engaging part 4 of a suspender is shown attached to the waistband 5 of a garment, and the ends of said part 4 are bifurcated, each end consisting of two elements or strips 6 7, one preferably lying upon the other, and one of the strips, as 7, being longer than the other strip 6. T o the ends of the shorter strips 6 the members 1 are secured, each of said members being formed with a catch, as the socket 8, extending lengthwise thereof and opening into one side of the eye. As shown, each of said members 1 is formed with a loop l), to which the adjacent end of the strip 6 is secured, and with a lateral loop 10, encircling the overlying strip 7, and usually one of said members is formed with a hook 11 for supporting the underclothes.

The pin 3 is pivoted to the longer strip 7 at the end thereof and is here shown as formed with a loop 12, to which the strip 7 is secured, said pin being movable endwise across the eye and into the socket.

In use the member 1 and the pin 3 are arranged on the same side of the garment, as the outside of the waistband, and the pin is passed through the eye 2 and twice through the band 5, and the end thereof is extended into the socket 8.

The construction and operation of my gar ment-supporter will now be readily understood upon reference to the foregoing description and the accompanying drawings, and it will be noted that more or less change may be made in the component parts thereof without departing from the spirit of my invention.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. A garment-supporter comprising a sup porting element, a member connected to said element and formed with an eye for receiving a portion of the garment and with a catch at one side of the eye, and a pin movable endwise relatively to the eye member into engagement with the catch, substantially as and for the purpose described.

2. A garment-supporter comprising two supporting elements, a member secured to one of said elements and formed with an eye for receiving a portion of a garment, and a pin secured to the other of said elements and cooperating with the eye member substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

3. A garment-supporter comprising two supporting elements, one lying upon the other, and one being longer than the other, a member formed with an eye secured to the shorter element, said member being also formed with a catch at one side of the eye, and a pin for cooperating with said eye pivoted to the end of the longer element, substantially as and for the purpose described.

4. A garment-supporter comprising a part having a bifurcated end composed of two supporting elements, one lying upon the other, and one being longer than the other, a member formed with an eye secured to the shorter element, and a pin for cooperating with said eye projecting from the end of the longer element, substantially as and for the purpose specified.

5. A garment-supporter comprising a part having a bifurcated end composed of two elements, one lying upon the other and one being longer than the other, a member secured to the shorter element and formed with an eye and with a socket at one side of the eye,

and a pin secured to the longer element and of Onondaga, in the State of New York, this movable endwise across the eye and into the 21st day of June, 1905.

socket, substantially as and for the purpose BURDETTE H VHITE specified.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto Witnesses:
